If I make a CSV file from a ‘Probe point plots’, the properties of the csv file are: “.“ for decimal and “,” as field seperator (which I expect).

If I make a CSV file from a ‘Plot-over-Path’; the properties of the csv file are: “,“ for decimal and “;” as field seperator.

These differences are not handy. How can I rectify it (of course I could replace the characters first in a text editor and than get it into excel; but that is though not very user friendly).

Thanks for the feeback,

All the best
